Marketplace Health Insurance & the Public Health Emergency: Implications for Texas
Description
Texas has the highest uninsurance rate in the country. The COVID-19 related public health emergency led to the American Rescue Plan Act, federal legislation that increased premium subsidies for private Marketplace health insurance plans and expanded eligibility criteria. Since early 2021, total Texas Marketplace enrollment has increased by 70% or 750,000 people. In recent work, the authors used public data to estimate the gains in Marketplace coverage attributable to the policy, the remaining share of uninsured individuals who may remain eligible for subsidized Marketplace coverage, and projected losses in coverage when these temporary policies expire at the end of 2025. This article is a companion to the December 2023, issue of The Takeaway on Medicaid and the Public Health Emergency.Department
